Ono then confirmed that Street Fighter V was in fact in the early planning stages, but offered no more information on the game.

The original Japanese source of the rumours claims that the new game will allow for in-game spectating for high profile matches, that it’s primarily for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and that it’s still years away from release.

But if they’re wrong about the pay-to-win scheme that makes it more likely they’re wrong about the other stuff too. Although we’re willing to bet that the last point, about still being years away, is definitely true.

Especially as Ultimate Street Fighter IV has only just been released as an add-on, with a standalone all-in-one release due at retail this August.
